Welcome to the Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism at the University of Pennsylvania. Endocrine diseases including diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis, and thyroid disease are becoming increasingly prevalent in our population. Treatments for these and other conditions are changing rapidly, and exciting advances in basic research offer a promise of even more effective therapies to come.

As a research-intensive division in the Department of Medicine, our faculty and staff provide state-of-the-art clinical care for patients with diabetes and endocrine disorders, and generate new knowledge with the ultimate goal of improving our understanding and treatment of these diseases. The research is fostered by Penn's NIH-funded Diabetes and Endocrinology Research Center, one of 16 such centers in the United States. We also teach endocrinology to medical students and residents, while training the next generation of endocrinologists and diabetologists through our outstanding fellowship program, funded in part by a training grant from the NIH.
